Chapter 162: Chapter 162 Midnight Temptations
Author
"Elara,Hunter invited me to stay at his countryside estate for a few days. I heard there’s even a private theater there. Hunter wants to bring in some performers!" Elizabeth’s voice was full of excitement over the phone.
Elara knew her grandmother loved live performances. Anything elegant and cultural appealed to her deeply.
It was rare that her grandmother got along so well with Dominic’s father.
"That’s wonderful, Grandma. Please take the nurse with you and take care of yourself. When you’re ready to come back, I’ll pick you up."
"No need for that, dear. Hunter won’t let your grandmother get lost. Don’t worry!"
Just like that, the old lady happily gave the young couple more privacy.
If her granddaughter hadn’t objected, Elizabeth would have preferred to move out entirely and let them have their space.
Elara didn’t think much of it.
That afternoon, she received photos from the nurse showing her grandmother enjoying the show. Nothing seemed unusual.
Until she came home that evening and discovered even Linda had taken time off.
But Linda had prepared dinner before leaving.
Elara shook her head with a wry smile as she opened the refrigerator to find a few ingredients inside.
She hadn’t cooked in ages, but thought maybe she could whip up a couple of dishes.
After all, Alpha Dominic had helped her so much lately. Making him dinner would be a nice way to show her gratitude.
With that thought, Elara opened a cooking app and decided to try a new recipe.
When Alpha Dominic arrived home, he caught a faint scent of smoke.
He headed toward the kitchen and found Elara holding her nose while frantically working a spatula.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, coughing from the thick smoke. "Need any help?"
"No, no, the food will be ready soon. Just wait," Elara said quickly.
"I know there’s a lot of smoke, but it actually tastes okay," she added, trying to save face.
Dominic’s lips curved into a light smile. "Alright, I’ll go change. I’ll be waiting for your cooking."
Half an hour later, Elara finally brought a plate of food to the table. Its appearance was... questionable.
"Actually, my cooking skills are usually pretty good. I just had an off day today," Elara said nervously. "Should we order takeout instead?"
Alpha Dominic steadied her hands holding the plate.
"No need. I’m not picky with food." He paused. "Could you pour me some water, though?"
He was genuinely parched from the saltiness.
"Oh, sure, here’s your water!" Elara said anxiously. "Is it really bad? Maybe we should just throw it away?"
Alpha Dominic ate elegantly but quickly, as if he couldn’t get enough. Elara didn’t even have the courage to taste it herself, yet he finished the entire plate.
"It tastes good," he lied without shame. "I love everything you make."
"You go freshen up. I’ll wash the dishes."
Elara bit her lip.
{Had his hands ever washed dishes before?]
But the man stood skillfully by the sink, his movements practiced. "Don’t think of me as some spoiled rich boy who can’t do anything. When it comes to basic life skills, I’m no worse than you."
The man’s lips curved upward, while the dark desire in his eyes grew stronger. "However, Luna Wolfe, can we be intimate tonight?"
Elara watched his Adam’s apple bob and was momentarily speechless.
"You wash the dishes. I’m going back to the bedroom first!"
The desire in Dominic’s eyes grew more intense, and his dishwashing speed unconsciously quickened.
In the bathtub, Elara washed every inch of her body thoroughly. But thinking about her actions made her realize she was preparing for what he’d asked. Her cheeks flushed with heat.
They had their arrangement. She couldn’t back out now.
Her face flushed as she walked out of the bathroom wearing a silk nightgown. Alpha Dominic had just finished showering in the adjacent bathroom, his entire body still damp from the shower.
"Should I turn off the lights?" Dominic’s deep voice was particularly rough tonight.
Elara’s mind exploded. "Turn them off!"
Click. The bedroom went dark.
Dominic’s intense gaze was now as heavy and dark as the room.
Elara could only see the man’s bright, gleaming eyes. She unconsciously licked her lips. "You..."
Before she could finish, the man’s strong arm pulled her forward gently but firmly, naturally wrapping around her waist.
His other hand cupped the back of her head.
Even in the darkness, Alpha Dominic lowered his head slightly and found her lips perfectly.
He’d wanted to bite them ever since dinner.
So sweet, so soft. Their last kiss had been days ago.
Elara’s breath hitched as she instinctively tried to pull back.
But the moment her body moved, the hand around her waist pulled her even closer.
Her thin silk nightgown pressed against his firm, solid chest.
The burning temperature felt like fire against her skin.
Alpha Dominic kissed deeper and deeper.His skillful tongue invaded.
Elara retreated in panic, step by step.
But his tongue left her nowhere to hide, tangling with hers relentlessly.
She felt every inch of her skin burning up, her mind going blank, her heartbeat racing beyond what she could bear.
Alpha Dominic suddenly released her lips, his voice as rough as gravel. "Can we continue?"
